The Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer Pedranti talks about her relationship with William
The Real Housewives of Orange County star elaborated that she was on good terms with William's new girlfriend. Jennifer shared that William was in a serious and committed relationship with her friend who used to be her interior designer. Calling her a "great girl", Jennifer further explained that the four of them never got along too well.
Both William and Jennifer share five kids together: 20-year-old Harrison, 17-year-old Dawson, 14-year-old Greyson, 12-year-old Everleigh, and 10-year-old Dominic. The Real Housewives of Orange County star hopes for her ex-husband and Ryan to get along as well.
Talking about her ex-husband's new relationship, Jennifer shared that their lives were completely different from hers. She stated they were "religious" and "very private" and didn't "align" with her lifestyle and values.
Pedranti said that all four of them should do a better job at co-parenting their children by keeping aside their personal beef. She continued:
"For me, it's so frustrating. Why [are] the four of us, who have nine children between us, not doing a better job being co-parents? But they live very private lives, they're very religious. They don't align with my new life."
She clarified that there was no tension between her fiancé Ryan Boyajian and William but there are deep-rooted feelings of "frustration" within her and Ryan. Jennifer also mentioned:
"Ryan and Will, [there's] nothing [between them]. And I have to say Ryan has picked up way more slack than he should've, and so there's frustration for Ryan."
During one of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 episodes, Jennifer and her son Dawson had a conversation about personal space. Dawson explained that he felt closer to William instead of Jennifer as she would overinvolve herself and not give him space.
Jennifer couldn't understand whether she was being too strict or he was still adjusting to Ryan's addition to the family. He said:
"So I feel like it would be better to go somewhere where it is. I do feel like I am closer to dad. I feel like if I could, I would like to be closer with you."
The upcoming episodes will reveal more about Jennifer's relationship with her children.
The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 episodes air every week on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo TV and the next day on Peacock TV.
